Leadership

More than thirty years ago, the founders of Chicago Foundation for Women came together to build a network of women leaders, activists, and philanthropists. The aim was to create a community where women, and men committed to social change, could take the lead on ensuring all women and girls thrive. Today, we still rely on their leadership and vision to continue that work.
